Femoral access conversion is sometimes required in clinical practice. Various techniques have been reported to convert a retrograde femoral access to antegrade access with a high success rate. However, despite paucity of data, converting an antegrade access to retrograde access is quite challenging with a potentially higher risk of technical failure or loss of access.
Here, we report a simple technique of antegrade to retrograde access conversion utilizing a pigtail catheter and an angled Glidewire.
Successful conversion was achieved with no immediate complications with the proposed technique.
Techniques that describe antegrade to retrograde access conversion are seldomly reported in the medical literature. Our technique was successful in making the conversion utilizing only pigtail catheter and angled Glidewire.
在临床实践中，有时需要进行股动脉入路转换。已经报道了各种技术，这些技术可以将逆行股动脉入路转换为顺行股动脉入路，成功率很高。然而，尽管数据有限，但将顺行入路转换为逆行入路具有相当大的技术失败或入路丢失风险，这是相当具有挑战性的。
在这里，我们报告了一种利用猪尾导管和角度型 Glidewire 进行顺行到逆行入路转换的简单技术。
使用提出的技术成功地进行了转换，没有立即出现并发症。
在医学文献中很少有描述顺行到逆行入路转换的技术。我们的技术仅使用猪尾导管和角度型 Glidewire 成功地进行了转换。
